1. Our Reading Material: A couple of nights ago, Aidan begged Kip to read him the story of Horace, the crazy clown uncle from Field of Screams. A few nights before that, he was reading the idea of a new story to Aidan - a letter documenting the "atrocities" at The Lair of the Wolf (AKA Isle of Screams). Also, our website content has been all about ordering things for Halloween and Aidan is pretty interested - always over your shoulder! Yes we are still reading great books. His favorite is still Harry Potter as he is re-reading the entire series. We are also enjoying the 39 Clues series together. Things revolve around all things gory and frightening this time of year, so I'm happy he still loves to read something else.
2. Our House. We are making a huge effort to keep the house picked up. When you are constantly in and out - dropping bags, shoes, mail, backpacks - it can become a real problem to keep on top of the mess. A week ago we resolved to pick up and make sure things were clean before we went to bed. We faired pretty good for a week, (We have a "clean-up" nazi...I won't name names...keeping us in check.) but I just walked in the house after another full day and the dishes were almost a mile high and there are toys everywhere! I was super hungry and exhausted, but I did the dishes because the nazi will be home soon...there are still toys everywhere...and the carpet is still not installed...and there is a pile of laundry that needs folded and put away...bills mail all over the table...
3. Our Hair: My dear sweet hairdresser sister hasn't made it this way in awhile....
Need I say more?
